Italy withdraws troops from Iraq after drone attack on base

Italy is pulling its soldiers out of Iraq after a drone attack hit their base near Erbil airport. The attack caused a fire, and Italian officials, including Defense Minister Crosetto, called it a deliberate act.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she was monitoring the situation. The base commander reported that while troops were tired, their morale remained high. The withdrawal order came shortly after the attack.
